TL;DR
Des etudes ulterieures pourront elucider l’association entre la famille des inhibiteurs de the phosphodiesterase et le risque de survenue de crises d’epilepsie.
Abstract
Further studies are needed to elucidate the association of phosphodiesterase inhibitors use and epileptic seizures.
Keywords
MedicineBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology
NeuroscienceThe bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide enhances seizure susceptibility in mice: involvement of proinflammatory factors: nitric oxide and prostaglandins
162 Citations2003Mohammad Sayyah, Mohsen Javadpour +1 more
Results indicate that NO, PGs and endogenous opioid peptides seem to be involved in LPS-induced decrease in seizure threshold.
NeurologyTransient ischemic attack and stroke associated with sildenafil (Viagra) use
69 Citations2001John C. Morgan, Mohammed Alhatou +2 more
A patient who suffered a TIA followed by a stroke in the same distribution 6 days later, and each event was associated with sildenafil use is described.
BMJDrug points: Tonic-clonic seizures in patients taking sildenafil
60 Citations2002Royi Gilad
Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) is a specific phosphodiesterase type V inhibitor with a selective inhibitory effect on cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) responsible for its main clinical effect—relaxation of the smooth muscle in the corpus cavernosum.
NeuroscienceMagnetic resonance and biochemical studies during pentylenetetrazole-kindling development: The relationship between nitric oxide, neuronal nitric oxide synthase and seizures
58 Citations2004Kouichi Itoh, Masashi Watanabe +4 more
It is found that primary generalized epilepsy is caused by NO induction during the persistent up-regulation of nNOS expression, but that NO induction is not associated with severe generalized seizures following long-term kindling phenomena after PTZ withdrawal.
PubMedNitric oxide and brain hyperexcitability.
50 Citations2005Giuseppe Ferraro, Pierangelo Sardo
This article reviews the main knowledge about the relationships existing between the activity of the NO system and the experimental aspects of epilepsy, focusing on the somewhat antithetic findings about the proconvulsant or the anticonvulsant roles exerted by nitric oxide.
Pharmacology Biochemistry and BehaviorSeizure-induced oxidative stress in rat brain regions: blockade by nNOS inhibition
48 Citations2004Karthik Rajasekaran
It is demonstrated that NO contributes to LPO observed following seizures induced by PCT, which suggests that the AEDs may not have a significant role in modulating the activities of antioxidant enzymes and that their ability to decrease LPO is realized more likely by their able to prevent free radical formation.
The American Journal of MedicineSex and the patient with cardiovascular risk factors: focus on sildenafil
45 Citations2000Robert A. Kloner
Before prescribing sildenafil or any current or future treatment for ED to patients with known cardiac disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors, physicians should discuss the potential cardiac risk of sexual activity and perform a complete medical assessment, including an exercise stress test if appropriate.
PubMedSexual activity with and without the use of sildenafil: risk of cardiovascular events in patients with heart disease.
10 Citations2004Angela Beatrice Scardovi
The data in the literature on the relationship between sexual activity, with and without the use of sildenafil, and the occurrence of cardiovascular events (ventricular arrhythmias, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke and death) have been reviewed in patients with heart disease and the drug does not appear contraindicated in subjects with IHD.
